The One Omega 3 Food Everyone Ignores!

I will discuss many various options for Omega 3's, and save the easiest Omega 3 source for last!

Have you worried about trying to go vegan because you can't figure out how to get your Omega 3's? Many people pop a fish oil tablet for their Omega 3's, when oil is dangerous for a system when it is extracted from the whole - like fish oil is extracted from the fish. And eating the whole, by eating fish, is dangerous as well, as it has dioxins and pollution absorbed by the lakes and fats and cholesterol.

You've probably looked at solutions such as ground flax seed, but don't know where to buy it; or you just don't want to take the time to grind the seeds. Chia seeds are too expensive. Canola oil has Omega 3's, but again, that's an extracted oil, so you choose fish oil as it is promoted by the "experts" even though it is bad for you in other ways. Honestly, I would prefer you use canola oil as it kill no animal.

Hold on! The experts seem to always be ignoring the kind, non-murdering alternatives! Tofu has some Omega 3's. Throw a few tiny cubes into whatever you are eating. (I don't eat tofu often, but felt I should mention that it does have Omega 3's.)
Some dark green leafy plants like kale have Omega 3's. I'm not that good about eating those either, although I have upped my dark leafy salad eating.

How about those flax seeds? Can you go to Kroger and buy some in the health food section and use a coffee grinder to grind those seeds and then just sprinkle a little over your cereal? I know it's so much work, because sometimes I don't grind them - but I always sprinkle them over my cereal anyway and then just chew them! That should grind them some!

LASTLY, the big one everyone ignores: walnuts. Grab a few walnut pieces and eat those every day instead of popping that fish pill. You will get vitamins, fiber, food and your Omega 3's all rolled into one!

About Me

I became an atheist thanks to YouTube! For years I hovered between having a God, being "spiritual" and being agnostic - in fact, most of my life. There was only a short period of time when I was a Jesus Freak along with my brother, but I did not fit in with his group. I attended a religious college for two years and felt like the "odd woman out" there as well. One day on the main page of AOL there was a picture of Kirk Cameron and another picture of a pretty young blond woman with curly long hair and a cute little chin. They said she got more "hits" on YouTube than Kirk did! Of course, it was Zomgitscriss! I watched her video and thought, "You know, I think like she does, but she is a lot smarter than I am!" I watched more of her videos, and she said it was just a hop, skip and jump from agnosticism to atheism. I thought, "Oh, I could never be an atheist - it's such a harsh word!" I decided to look at her favorites and saw a big guy with long hair who looked like he belonged in a motorcycle gang. I smirked and thought, "This will be good - let's see what he has to say," thinking he had to sound dumb. It turned out to be Aron Ra, and I was treated to video after video about evolution, taxonomy and phylogeny - subjects I knew nothing about! What an education! One day, I clicked on Pangeaprogress' videos. I saw his beautiful nature videos of Africa. Suddenly, a pack of lions surrounded an antelope and started eating her, slowly, starting at the hips and wherever they could bite. I was totally shocked. I had been overprotected a good share of my life, and my mother always told me that animals "always went right for the neck and the death was over in an instant." Well, it wasn't. From that moment on, I was an atheist. No God could sit by and watch such cruelty and pain and suffering and allow it to happen. No excuses. This is how YouTube converted me, and my eyes have been opened to so many new ideas thanks to the Internet!
